EssentialsC

A better essentials.
Built for modern Paper.

EssentialsC is a clean-slate essentials plugin for Paper and Folia servers. Async storage, MiniMessage formatting, and a command framework that doesn't get in your way.

What you actually need. Nothing you don't.

EssentialsC was written to replace bloated legacy essentials plugins. Every feature has a reason to exist. Every system was built with the main thread in mind.

Homes, warps, kits, private messaging, teleportation, moderation, economy, and more - all wired together properly, not bolted on over years of accumulated tech debt.

Player data lives in SQLite and is read and written off the main thread. All messages run through the Adventure API. Folia is supported out of the box via a custom scheduler abstraction. It works the way a modern Paper plugin should.

EssentialsC supports disabling core modules. Turn off homes, kits, TPA, punishments, economy and more - disabled systems load nothing and unregister their commands. Read the modules guide.

Open source. No strings attached.

EssentialsC is free and the source is public. There are no paid tiers, no feature locks, and no donation nags.

If you find a bug or want to contribute, the repo is on GitHub. Pull requests are welcome.

Plays well with others.

EssentialsC hooks into the plugins your server already depends on. Vault for economy, LuckPerms for permissions, PlaceholderAPI for exposing data to other plugins, DiscordSRV for server event forwarding, TAB for the player list, and Floodgate for Bedrock players.
